A name, an email, a password. No waiting.

Walk the halls
Markers are printed cards on walls and pillars, and some are worn by staff on hi-vis vests.

Scan a marker
Tap Scan and point your camera. It catches on its own — no button to press.

The rules
Full rulesPlaying
An account is required
Catches have to belong to somebody.
One catch per marker per event day
Scanning the same marker twice in a day pays nothing the second time. The next day it pays again.
Catch as many markers as you can find
There is no cap. The limit is how much of the hall you cover.
Winning
What a marker pays is printed on it
Between +1 and +5 catches, depending on the marker. Staff can change values between days.
The leaderboard decides the winners
Most catches takes it. Level scores are split by who got there first.
Cheating voids a score
Sharing codes, photographing markers for other people or scanning from screenshots can wipe a score entirely.

Questions
Do I need an app?
No. Catchmaster runs in your phone's browser — Safari, Chrome, whatever you already use. Make an account and you're hunting.
What if my camera won't work?
Scan the marker with your phone's own camera app instead. It opens the same catch page and pays the same. If the scanner asks for the camera, allow it in your browser settings.
Does it cost anything?
The hunt is free. You only need a HeroFest ticket to get into the halls.
How often can I scan a marker?
As often as you like, but each marker counts once per event day. A new day starts at midnight — by our clock, not your phone's — and then it counts again.
When do I find out if I've won?
The leaderboard is live the whole time and is final once the hunt closes, Sun 4 Oct, 18:00. Prizes go to the top of the board: we recognise winners by the real name on their account and get in touch by email.
Fri 2–Sun 4 Oct
